Bad Education

It receives its TV debut on Tuesday (see preview, p62), but those looking to catch Jack Whitehall's classroom comedy early can watch it on iPlayer, as part of BBC3's quietly revolutionary policy of premiering all of its comedy online. Bad Education's still not essential by any stretch, but Whitehall's impudent presence, not to mention that of the always-great Michelle Gomez, means that it remains watchable.

The Men Who Made Us Thin

A companion piece to last year's The Men Who Made Us Fat, this four-parter again sees Jacques Peretti scrutinise the food industry, though this time its the peddlers of miracle diets and extreme weight-loss techniques who receive a grilling. Though the tone at times is a little overly dramatic, there's much here that will illuminate and terrify. Available on iPlayer until Thursday.

Educating Essex

With its Yorkshire follow-up debuting this week, now's a good time to revisit this well-received documentary series, which observed the classroom behaviour of Passmores Academy in its autumn term. Reassuringly unobtrusive TV at a time where the reality genre is increasingly subject to truth-bending production techniques. Catch all seven episodes over on 4OD.

Under The Dome

What would happen if an entire town was trapped under a ruddy great dome? It's a question that you've likely never asked yourself, as well as the high-concept premise for this US ratings winner. Agreeably daft - witness the cow bisection by said massive dome in the show's pilot - it features the furrow-browed talents of Dean Norris (Hank from Breaking Bad), which surely means its worth at least a cursory watch. Catch the series so far on Demand 5.

Storyville: Richard Pryor - Omit The Logic

Detailed portrait of the US comedian, which manages to delve into the troubled aspects of his upbringing and later life without losing sight of his comic significance. Newcomers will thrill at the still-dangerous seeming material at the film's heart, while some of the footage might be unfamiliar even to seasoned Pryor watchers.

House Of Lies

Season two of this Don Cheadle-led comedy drama about an unscrupulous gaggle of management consultants begins on Sky Atlantic this Monday, but Sky subscribers who can't wait until then can catch House Of Lies via their On Demand service. Sleaze.
